Like Charles Dickens ghosts of Christmas Past and Present, they are representative of times old and new - from John Donnes Elizabethan hymn over the baby Jesus to Rudyard Kiplings "Christmas in India", from Thomas Tusser counting the cost of a Tudor feast to Laurie Lees "Cider with Rosie". Enjoy a convivial Christmas Day as described by Samuel Pepys, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, or Nancy Mitford. Venture out into the snow in the company of Jane Austen, Henry James, and Dickens ever-popular Mr Pickwick. Entertain the children with the seasonal tales of Dylan Thomas, Kenneth Grahame, Louisa May Alcott, and George Mackay Brown. Critic Reviews: "[a] beautifully presented cornucopia" (Rachel Redford, The Oldie)
